A State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement (SARA) is an agreement among its member states, districts and U.S. territories that establishes comparable national standards for interstate offering of postsecondary distance-education courses and programs. It is intended to make it easier for students to take online courses offered by postsecondary institutions in a state other than the one where they reside. (Courtesy of NC-SARA)
Carteret Community College has been approved to participate in the National Council for State Authorization Reciprocity Agreements (NC-SARA).
Students enrolled in online/ distance courses at Carteret CC who have a complaint about grades, College decisions, or other Carteret CC procedures should follow the College’s policies for Student Complaints and Grade Appeals process.
Pursuant to the United States Department of Education’s Program Integrity Rule, Carteret Community College, and all other colleges or universities that receive Title IV monies, is required to provide all prospective and current students with contact information of the state agency or agencies that handle complaints against postsecondary education institutions.
Students are encouraged to submit concerns following the institutional complaint process in Section 7.6 of the College Catalog & Student Handbook.
